Distribution. Indo-West Pacific to KwaZulu-Natal south coast (Aliwal Shoal); local material 5–50 m (living 15 m).

Notes. Whether South African material is genuinely conspecific with the tropical S. concinna requires confirmation. Abbott (1958) suggested that concinna was no more than a subspecies of the Caribbean S. picta (d’Orbigny, 1847) .
